juniorloc34 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 9:40 pm Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what was going on with this dime I found. It weighs 2.32g, thickness is 1.5mm at its thickest and 1.28mm at its smallests, and the diameter is 17.9mm. there is also some odd looking lettering on the reverse. Thanks in advance for any education you can provide. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 10:05 pm looks like an exaggerated Rim Fin, possibly caused by a tilted die. Collecting since 1972.

Please list the weights as 'Thin = X.XX grams' and 'Thick = X.XX grams' for clarity. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6505 Posts	Posted 08/15/2024 08:36 am I think Dearborn is right. The opposing rim fins suggest that is a tilted die strike. Report this Post to the Staff
